The Grape ecosystem has grown tremendously in the past few years and it’s time we take the next step and have the community take over in a bigger way. I am pleased to announce the creation of a new Github organization called ruby-grape.

New Home

Mailing List

Member Projects

The first two member projects are Grape itself and grape-entity, moved to the new organization from Intridea. I want to thank Intridea for giving birth to Grape, the many years of supporting it, and for encouraging its release into the community at large.

Governance

We welcome all contributors to the Grape ecosystem, built upon rough consensus and running code, a principle described in the Tao of IETF. We are highly inclusive, try to be nice and helpful to both experienced and new developers. We encourage you to participate and to be pragmatic. To quote David Clark, “We reject kings, presidents and voting”, and Jon Postel, “Be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you accept.”

The organization will be grown with an increasing number of maintainers. As we bring more projects in, we will promote more people to organizational admin level. Michael Bleigh (@mbleigh) and I (@dblock) to start and others to join as we grow! There’re many maintainers of various Grape projects and we want to give everyone an opportunity to rise to the bigger community effort by actively contributing.

My personal goal is to end up quickly with 6 ruby-grape admins from old time contributors.

Projects Joining the Ruby Grape Organization

We encourage you to develop and support your Grape ecosystem project, expand its maintainers and help a community thrive. Some projects do become quite popular and you might want to donate them to the community at large. If you want to move a project to the ruby-grape Github organization please make a succinct proposal on the Ruby-Grape Google Group. A member of the core team will make the call.
